Is it possible to enter individual metadata for individual bitstream where multiple such bitstreams belong to a single item?
Using Dspace 5.10

Do you use dc.relation in your metadata?  If so, you might create several items, one for each bitstream that needs its own metadata, and use dc.relation.haspart and/or ispartof to relate them.  The dc.relation data is a link to the related item(s).  For some types of items we create a "parent" item for summary metadata (and bitstreams if needed) and then multiple "child" items for detailed metadata and their related bitstreams.

I haven't used dc.relation earlier.
Although I understood what you mentioned, in theory, what do I actually put against this metadata- the handle ID or URI of the other item?
Also, I saw there are two dc.relation- dc.relation.isPartof and dc.relation.hasPartof-- what is the difference?

I tried to find an example online in other DSpace repositories online but couldn't find one. Can you give me a sample idea?

The URI of the related item is one option for the metadata, or another identifier that links the items.

Here's an example of an item that has many parts:

The parent item, https://abc.xxx.org/handle/9999999/12340 ,contains

And each child item, such as 12343, contains
dc.relation.ispartof    https://abc.xxx.org/handle/9999999/12340  

We have the summary view of items configured to display the "Is part of" metadata.

Hope that helps!

OK.
I tried implementing this.
But I was hoping something like a linked file, that appears in the parent item and clicking on this linked item (child item) will take me to that item, or maybe open that child item in the browser itself.
